My husband suggested to me the other day that maybe I might like to write about something other than him on my blog. Particularly, he suggested that he could no longer be the butt of all my jokes. So. Dum de dum dum…. How about them Dolphins, hey? Ummmm… What do I write about then?…

Remember those after dinner mint slices that would come out at the end of a dinner party and were the height of sophistication in the eighties? At least I thought they were pretty classy with their dark chocolate and individual little sleeves. Well, they’re back! I’m declaring them totally cool again and on trend. My…

My darling, very gorgeous little lad Henry has kindly kept me up most of the night for the past couple of nights. The amount he is up during the night would have made me start to suspect he could be part vampire but his serious lack of sleep during the day has ruled that one…

I’m not sure I should start off a food blog post with this story, but I’m going to. The other week the whole family went to Henry’s little friend Bella’s first birthday. It was such a lovely birthday but the aftermath was not cool, seriously not cool. Two nights later my husband and I woke…

What the heck is Tortilla Soup? Is it Nachos in a bowl? Do I grab a Quesadilla, throw it into a blender and voila I have Tortilla Soup? What an odd concept for a soup! Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Yup. The first time I encountered Tortilla Soup on a menu I thought it…

Normally I wouldn’t touch lemon curd, not because I don’t like lemons or because I am super health conscience (look around my blog, you’ll see) but because I have always found it far too sickly almost cloyingly sweet. Often I would look at it and think how delicious it would look but after a few mouthfuls…

Did someone say miso? Me so love miso! Hehehe. Yes, I know, that was a terrible joke. Jokes have never been my forte. It’s true though, I do love miso! I can’t get enough of this addictive umami, salty flavour. If there is anything miso on the menu then I just have to have it….

Do you love mulled wine? Yes? Me too. How about mulled apple cider? I know, I know, I had never tried it or even thought to make it until recently, so sorry mulled wine but you’ve been bumped to second place because mulled apple cider is where it’s at in my house right now. It’s…

My husband and I used to be a perfect match. I emphasis “used to”, things have sadly changed. When we first met whenever we had a roast chicken he would always want the dark meat and me the white. I would sit there with a little smirk on my face thinking I had definitely without…

Yum. Yum. Yum. These smoothie bowls are A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. They are so good that for the last two weeks I have had nothing but these for breakfast. I am obsessed. I know, I know, all of you who read my previous recipe for Healthy Chocolate Banana Granola which I posted just a mere three weeks ago…

Who doesn’t want to eat chocolate anytime of the day? I would, my husband would, pretty much all of my friends would and my toddler certainly would without a doubt (I know this because he suggests this to me multiple times a day, everyday). Well, guess what? You can. Huh? Yes, you can. You can…

This cake is the bomb! There is just no other way to put it. It ticks all the boxes, super easy to make (i.e. does not involve my pet hate of creaming butter), icky sticky gooey fudgy chocolatey centre, crisp crunchy crust, gluten free and looks great. Yup, this Torta Caprese is the bomb. I…
